THE ART OF DREAMING

Over the last year, our art has allowed us to have a sense of escapism and to enjoy the world through the artists’ lenses. We have all seen images and depictions of years gone by, where at the Royal Academy shows and the big art Salons of the day, thronging, excited, engaged and expectant crowds studied the works of art around them. In a time before regular travel and an abundance of available media, art gave people the opportunity to dream and wonder about what they saw in those paintings - the places, the people, the sights, or the memories. Art was then as it is now, a form of escapism.

We hope you will find inspiration to dream and escape to some amazing places that mean something to you within these pages of our catalogue. In the end, it is art that helps us return there, time and time again.
